Bonjour/mDNS for Apple printing
Hello,
We have an environment with a series of M4300 switches connected to one core M4300 switch.
The core switched handles internal routing between 8 vlans.
We have some apple clients on two vlans that need to access printers on a third vlan.
We need to forward Bonjour "advertising" packets from printers on vlan 40 to clients on vlans 80 and 90.
I have seen a number of links discussing Bonjour/mDNS, but none that match up with what we are needing to do.
Can someone give us some guildance on how to set up this Bonjour forwarding environment?
Thanks.

The M4300 does have the capability of multicast routing, but I have never set this up before. So looking for some help with the various settings needed for each of the vlans.
Thanks.

Hi Bryan,
For your Bonjour/mDNS environment with VLAN 80, 90 and 40, please use the following console commands:
Access the console via TeraTerm/PuTTY.
User:admin
Password:***********(M4300)>enable
(M4300)#config
(M4300)(Config)#ip mroute static-multicast 224.0.0.251 80,90,40
(M4300)(Config)#exit
(M4300)#save
Thank you..
